Game 6: SBU v. Princeton
DIR By: Checkmate
Date: November 29, 2015, 12:52 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
This will be a good little test for our guys. Princeton is off
to a 3-0 start, all against D-I teams, and should move to 4-0 on
Monday against FDU. They have a nice road win to their credit
already - at Rider. Princeton was picked to finish third in the
Ivy but by a narrow margin and they actually tied for the most
first-place votes.
Three games so far, three different leading scorers. They BURIED
Lafayette this weekend by 52 thanks to 17 made threes on 35
attempts, as well as a 42-24 advantage on the glass.

As predicted, Princeton rolls over FDU, 91-61. Another huge
advantage on the glass for the Tigers - 49-30.
Henry Caruso went for 27 and 10, hitting 10 of 11 shots. He's
now shooting 74 percent on the year.
Of note:
- All five starters returned from last year's team that finished
16-14, including 9-5 in the conference.
- They've shot nearly 40 percent from 3 through four games. 42
percent of their attempts have come from deep.
- They have a couple trees (both 6-11) who play significant
minutes. A good test for Warney.
- Real good backcourt numbers. Amir Bell and Spencer Weisz have
combined for 32 assists and just seven turnovers. Weisz played
for the U20 Israeli National Team at the FIBA U20 European
championships.
- In their two routs, they've outrebounded their opponents
91-54. In their two close wins, 61-61. Get on the glass, boys.
- Lone Long Island connection is freshman G Elias Berbari, who
starred at Harborfields and will likely only see time in a
blowout.
- Princeton has finished in the top three in the Ivy League in
each of the past seven seasons. It made the NCAAs just once in
that time, losing to 4 seed Kentucky 59-57 on a last-second shot
by Brandon Knight.

Yep, should be. They rained threes on us and we had TWENTY THREE
turnovers - that can't happen again and I don't think it will if
Woodhouse is a full go. The kid Cook had 28 for Princeton - the
most by any Princeton player all season last year. Caruso had
yet to emerge as a key cog.

Looking forward to a D1 game at home! Best of luck to SBU. We
might get a better look at that debatable bench during this one.

I see a close one this afternoon. I think we win due to home
court 68-62 hopefully.

Terrific win. The half court offense looked really good and of
course some clutch free throw shooting down the stretch.

Quality team effort. I was surprised that we got into the 90s.
Princeton hadn't given up 90 in two years.
Warney was a man among boys. I was surprised by how small the
Princeton lineup was most of the team. They had 6-4 Caruso
underneath in their 1-3-1 and at one point were, 6-5, 6-4, 6-4,
6-3 and 6-1 out there. I don't see how you're going to rebound
with that lineup and with Warney and McGrew underneath. When
they penetrated, they had no chance against Warney. Career-high
eight blocks and we ended up with a 41-28 edge on the glass as a
team.
McGrew was tremendous. If he and Sekunda knock down the
perimeter shots, we're going to be awfully tough. We're not
going to shoot 64 percent every night though.
Not sure where Puriefoy's head was. He was terrible. It's days
like today where you're happy you have Woodhouse either in his
place or alongside him. We saw a lot of Woodhouse/Puriefoy
today.
Nice effort by Nyama and Woodhouse off the bench. Much less
Thrower today. I hope he keeps working hard despite the obvious
drop in PT that he'll likely see.
It was great to see us weather the early flurry in the second
half. The 1-3-1 killed us in the first half but we seemed to
figure it out later on. I was surprised by how few screens we
saw.

Woodhouse and Walker are huge additions. I prefer Woodhouse at
the point and Puriefoy at the "2, esp. " in crunch time.
I think part of the reason the three point percentage was so
high today is that the half-court offense ran pretty well.
Traditionally a lot of SB's missed three's come off of forced
shots as the shot clock is about to expire. Today, SB managed
to get a lot of good looks from the three point line. Hopefully
that will be a trend.
Puriefoy was off today, but he helped on the boards, had five
assists, and hit two free throws down the stretch. Also, two of
his misses were off of drives to the basket that drew defenders
that gave way to offensive put backs.
And of course Warney was close to unstoppable. That helps too.
